I like the 1st day of school shots of kids....so....each year I take them!! Let's see, I haven't missed a year for 14 years now (including preschool and kindergarten in there). Why then are the kids shocked each year when I say, "Okay....hurry up so I can take your picture". I get, "What!?!?....Are you serious?!?!?!...Why!?!?!....This is so stupid!!! I don't understand this.....I guess I was nieve in thinking that kids outgrew this. This year I was sooo close to popping Nathan in the head to see if I could jump start his brain. I try and try to get ONE nice shot and this is what I get from my "too cool for pictures" son. What's up with the "yo dude" eyes half closed?
And AGAIN
And AGAIN
Okay, I finally get him off guard as he's walking away.
Here's some pics of the "upper classman".....JUNIOR! Oh my goodness. She's got a BUSY schedule. She has 4 AP classes, VP of her Jr. Class, Soccer and Lacrosse and FLIRTING. Okay, she's not a flirt but she sure has a lot of fun! :)
I LOVE the shoes!!!
Here's all three together (Derrick's 2nd day)....notice my "yo dude" boy again.
Okay, this next picture is a bit scary. I did try to prove that you never outgrow the "don't take my picture" by not getting my picture taken. So, Bob caught me in the garage as I was getting in the car. I guess I must rejoice in my double chin :)
Here's my FUN classroom. The first day was AMAZING!!! I have 18 students in 1st hour and they are incredible. They have great insights and have so many wonderful experiences. WOW!!! This is really a great class. It's too bad I didn't get a picture of THEM in the seats....right??? I just got so involved once they came....I forgot the picture!!

We love this family! Is that Nathan's 'too cool' look or just his 'half awake' look. Gotta love it! I know it was so very important to take some time for yourself last year and work through the transitions of your growing family, but we sure love having you back. Have a great Friday! J
What are you teaching this year in seminary?
It's so awesome you teach seminary!!! What a cute classroom. And tell Nate to knock a smile (one day he will look back and regret he didn't). So cute!!!
The family looks cute! Give me a call sometime when you have time to explain how this blogging page works. Because I am not sure I understand it.

So fun! I love the back to school pictures, too, and they eventually will as well.
What lucky kids in your seminary class! You are going to do the BEST job!
Have a wonderful school year!!
I would love to be in one of those seats! In all seriousness, I think you would make a wonderful seminary teacher. I would be there in a heartbeat! And, Amanda and Nate are looking so mature and fun! It has been so fun watching them grow!
I can't believe how flippin' TALL Nathan is!! When did that happen? Love the new fam pic and look and cool signature. Have fun in seminary... those are lucky students!! :)
Lucky for us, we have had the pleasure of attending one of your class sessions. We loved it. We were very impressed. We are so happy for you and your students. Good luck this year.
Good luck for the new school year! By the way, Sam saw those pictures of Nathan and said, "Hey! That's my babysitter-friend! He's got a computer page, too?"
=YEah! Go you, Julie! Love you guys!
I bet you're the best teacher!! I would love to come to your class!
And...for the record....I am totally with you on the picture taking thing!! Get used to it kids...cause we moms ain't quittin'! :)
Although I will add that I think Nate's look is nice. He totally rocks that "yo dude" look. And, Amanda looks prettier and prettier every year!
